Road Redemption comes the closest to recapturing the fun of the original Road Rash, way back on the SEGA Genesis. Yeah, I’m that old. My cousins and I obsessed over that game one summer long ago, trying to finish it. We later learned there was no true no end! Ah...
F1 2018
The lifeblood of sports is the dawn of a new season. New players arrive on the scene. Rising stars are eager to resume their upward trajectory. The elite stand ready to reassert their dominance and take on all challenges – old and new. Yet at season opening, hope springs eternal....
Detached
Attached to Detached’s gameplay but not the game. Detached is a split experience for it’s unique gameplay without very little in an actual game to back it up. I so wanted to love this game because it made one of those childhood dream experiences come true – spacewalking.
A mustached detective, a train named the Orient Express, and a cast of colorful suspects – if you said the recent Murder on the Orient Express movie or an Agatha Christie whodunit that would be understandable. It certainly seems what THQ Nordic thought they were doing so with their old...
Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame is a helluva long title so let’s refer to it as MES going forward. Software publishers love sports games and why not? It’s basically the same product every year. Update the rosters, optimize the game a bit more, and maybe throw in a couple...
The Collider 2
In Sept 2014, Shortbreak Studios released a 10 level twitch shooter that had you hurtling down 2001 Dave Bowman Stargate like tubes and navigating and destroying obstacles. The setting for that game was inside a particle accelerator. In addition to a PC version, one could Collie on the go on...

Broforce
Broforce is a love letter to those 1980 action movies of yore when Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell et al were headliners and played their action hero roles more or less straight. Thirty years later you find them all congregating in a single Expendables movie...
The project came about when Capcom was approached by the Digital Eclipse studio who had created a game engine that could faithfully reproduce NES 8 bit games on PCs and the current consoles: PS4, XBox One, and 3DS. This is why there are six Mega Man games in this collection...
F1 2015
Codemasters has the licence to one of the most, if not the most, coveted racing series in the world – F1. They have held that licence for several years and it is one that throws a big spotlight on their games. F1 fans are passionate and with such passion comes...
Project CARS
Doing a proper and exhaustive review of a game that simulates a real world activity that involves a fair bit of complexity in a short window of time is always a daunting task. Things that appear OK at the outset may turn out to be deal breakers later on. Or,...
According to Miriam Webster Online, the word Fandango has two meanings. The first, and more formal definition is that it: “is a lively Spanish or Spanish-American dance done in triple time that is usually performed by a man and a woman to the accompaniment of guitars and castanets.” The second,...
